Sweet, moist, and delicious, Strawberry Bread is good for breakfast or dessert. Simply cut a slice and enjoy as is, or slather a little bit of butter to add some richness.  Either way, you can’t go wrong.

This recipe for Strawbery Bread comes from Eat & Explore North Carolina: Cookbook & Travel Guide by Christy Campbell, a book that combines my two passions:  eating and traveling.

This recipe is really easy to make, as long as you can measure, chop, and stir.

One thing I like to do when I make Strawberry Bread is to sprinkle my loaf pans with a cinnamon-sugar mixture after the pans have been greased.  I also like to sprinkle the mixture on top of the loaves before I put them in the oven to bake.  It adds a little extra sweetness and is the perfect finishing touch.
